That's a good question. Maybe they can't qualify under Arin rules. Another
question will be: how is Arin going to handle it? Im pretty sure that the RSA says that in the event of bankruptcy ips revert to the Arin pool. I understand that these were legacy addresses but.......
The *important* question is - do they *remain* legacy addresses under the legacy address rules after the Microsoft acquisition, and thus re-sellable at a later date? If so, we may have seen the first case of IP address speculation, and the start of the bubble. I don't want to see how this bubble bursts..
